What's the pet store owners motive?!

I've been told by numerous people on these forums that piggies need hay 24/7. This morning, I mentioned to my local pet store owner that I was told that and he said " They enjoy eating it more then they need to, so it should be used as a supplement to their regular pelleted food."
Basically he's telling me you guys/girls are wrong!!!
Dont worry though cuz I will take the advice of other cavy owner's over a store owner, but why is he telling me this when he could be encouraging me to buy more to "better profit his store"?
I dont understand.

I don't know. Maybe he makes more money off of pellets than he does from hay, so he wants you to buy more pellets?

The motive? That's easy. It's called money. The more he can make the happier he is. I also bet he is selling you some crappy pellet mix that you don't even need too. Hay is an absolute must in a guinea pigs diet. They need it to wear their molars down and to aid in digestion.
